Just as a restaurant lists many dishes
on its menu but recommends only a few, so
the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)
has decided to highlight some of the most
amazing activities and attractions all visitors
to the Kingdom must definitely not miss.
While Thailand is justly famous for its
wealth of Buddhist temples, the holiest
of holies is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha
in Bangkok. If you’re looking for another
taste of Thai culture, seasoned with tradition,
take a cooking class in a five star hotel,
or take in a classical theatre performance
at a renovated art-deco theatre in the capital.
Lovers of sports and the great outdoors
will not be starved for choice. There’s
abseiling down a gushing waterfall in the
country’s biggest national park; there’s
elephant-back riding in the mountainous
and verdant north; and plenty of sunken
pleasures await aquanauts in the supremely
scenic, national marine parks of the Andaman
Sea. Then again, you could have a ball playing
golf at seaside resorts like Hua Hin and
the ever-popular island of phuket. Or learn
the ropes of Muai Thai kick-boxing at a
resort on Ko Samui.
But there are plenty of less strenuous
options. Find some peace of mind by doing
a Buddhist-style meditation retreat at a
forest monastery. Tune up your body with
a healthy detox programme at a beachside
resort. For a shopping spree of epic proportions,
head for that behemoth of a bazaar – the
Weekend Market in Bangkok. To make tracks
into the past of ancient Siam’s glorious
Kingdoms and World War II history, hop aboard
the legendary and luxurious Eastern-Oriental
Express.
Of course you’ll discover thousands more
side dishes and appetizers to make your
vacation – or return trip – a smorgasbord
of excitement and relaxation. But these
20 astonishing and truly satisfying ‘main
courses’ need to be fully savoured.
